Abstract

In our report, we describe a short clinical case of an 8-year-old boy with a picture of subconjunctival suffision. The cause was secondary hypertension in acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.

Currently, we encounter an increased incidence caused by group A Streptococcus. Therefore, physicians should be mindful of late complications of streptococcal infections (e.g. acute post streptococcal glomerulonephritis).
